I Quit - no really I did quit

Late last year I quit!

That's right I resigned a role and qualification I have had for some 17 years. 

Something I sacrificed to achieve for over a decade leading to achieving the goal.

Something I studied and prepared for, for some decades.\

This decision process was something I literally agonised over for many months. 

In part because of my pride.

In part because of the price paid to get there.

And in huge part because it had a nagging tinge of defeat in my soul attached.

But here its the thing and few other things I have learned through this process...

Sometimes quitting is an act of cowardice.

And sometimes it is a show of bravery.

Not quitting is sometimes based on fear.

And other times quitting is a declaration of faith.

Here is another concept to consider...

It always looks different out the other side. Always!

Before making this decision, I didn't want to make it because I didn't know what the other side of it would feel like or look like? What the cost my be?

In hindsight it wasn't that bad. 

And actually my perspective has changed. 

Something I could see before the call being made.

No one wanted the make the decision for me!

You need to know in your own heart whether quitting is right.

Get advice. Meditate on the ramifications. Let your conscience help guide.

Before you quit...

Ask your own heart why you think you should.

Ask someone else who won't be guaranteed to just agree what they think.

Ask others who know you best.

Be honest and be brave.

Something to think about...
